<p>i heard that Duke gave out free I-pods to incoming freshmen last year. Are they doing this again this year?</p>

<p>I hope so!! That would be awesome...</p>

<p>The class of 08 got them, but for us 09ers and I hear onward only certain classes get them. So if you enroll in the class you get lucky, but if not you're out of luck. The Duke computer store does run pretty good deals on them though.</p>

<p>Yeah - it's just for certain classes. I read that on the website a week or so ago. It's for classes where they are deemed a "need" - lol. It's one of those embracing technology moves</p>

5

<p>How do we "exhibit" this need? I mean persoanlly I don't have one and it would be nice, lol...</p>

<p>German is practically the only foreign language that doesn't get them. :mad:</p>

<p>Professors have to apply in order to get iPods for their classes.</p>

<p>What do you mean by that? I plan on majoring in German, or at least minoring in it... Schie</p>

<p>None of the German professors applied for them, I suppose. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>So, it is not the class, as in class of '09 etc., that gets the ipods, but rather Hindi 101 or Mozart and his time?</p>

<p><em>ahem</em> As a Latin student I can tell you the dead languages don't get iPods either. :p</p>
